My family has a salad that is standard on the tables of almost all my siblings. A visitor to my parent's home years ago dubbed it "Summer Salad," and so we've called it. You all have variations of this salad: diced tomatoes, cucumbers, green onion and a vinaigrette (or in my case, Zesty Italian dressing) with LOTS of dill. Occasionally, I'll toss in some broccoli flowerettes, or perhaps some cauliflower, but I really like it the traditional way.
Unfortunately, Dear Husband is not as enamored of it as I am. I can easily make a bowl of it for myself, but then I need to come up with a salad for him.
I've been thinking that I'd like to create chunkier side salads. For instance, tomatoes, cauliflower flowerettes and pea pods. I need more ideas. Do you have a blend that your family really likes? I hope you'll share your suggestions with me.
